When it gets to the test revise abput 1 hour before it beuase if you revise right before them test that information is no tgoing to be learnt so you will have to revise about an hour 30 mins before the test. When you do the test odtn worry becuase thats why you can trember anything becuase you are ot conetrating becuase you are to worried. Just be calm and everyhting will be ok. Good Luck. Hope my advcie helps . Email me on how it went. !! [ Poppsie's advice column | Ask Poppsie A Question ]
elscorcho96 answered Wednesday May 18 2005, 12:29 am: Making up songs or rhymes about what you're doing can help you remember formulas. And when I have trouble studying I read everything I'm studying out loud - it helps me focus on what I'm reading and allows me to hear what I'm reading, so you take it in both visually and audibly.

S_C answered Tuesday May 17 2005, 9:49 pm: Well we learn formulas through song.
Like our class says Y=MX+B to the tune of the YMCA, and I can't think what tune it is that we do y-y1=m(x-x1) but I remember it using the tune.
Try and turn formulas into songs that are kiddy songs and easily remembered.
EAT PEANUT BUTTER... somehow it helps your memory work, so I've heard. Try not to let your eyes wander across the class room. Eat a good breakfast, don't make yourself too warm because it'll just make you sleepy.
We don't have finals until next week except for physical education which is all this week.
But I hope what I said helped at least a little bit. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

Jess5764 answered Tuesday May 17 2005, 8:01 pm: well geometry finals, from what i've heard, (i get to exempt mine!) are pretty easy because it will probobly be multiple choice like all finals are. to remember formulas just work out a few problems using each formula til you get the hang of it and it'll probobly stick [ Jess5764's advice column | Ask Jess5764 A Question ]
